They say that time does not recover and I have to admit that these days I openly lost time, as the saying goes: shrimp that sleeps, gets carried away by the current, and I was carried away by the current but well it is the weekend and with it came the 173th weekend commitment in which I will write about my garden project I have in mind and as December is almost here I am going to plant some short cycle plants to have some dressings in three months time, besides that in my job I was recently given the responsibility of a planting project in the institution and in December I must show the harvested items so the time is getting short and I am in trouble because what there is in the institution is quite a lot of bush and snake, well I hope there are no snakes because if not I will run the hundred meters flat in a minute.
As there is little time left for December, this week I have to coordinate all the details for the planting of some crops that will be ready quickly, such as the cucumber, which is ready in 60 days: Cucumber that is ready in 60 days, chives that are produced in one month, basil that is ready in three months, spinach in two months, cilantro in two and a half months and turnips that are ready in about 40 days, I think these items will get me out of trouble because they are fast growing, However I will plant most of them in my house on weekends and a small part will be planted during the week at the institution because they usually steal the fruits and when the exhibitions come we have nothing to present, so in my house will be protected the harvest that we will expose God willing in December and thus have something to present at the exhibition.
As for the garden of my house this month I have only taken care of weeding, and although we have not planted lately, we have planted some items such as: ginger, turmeric, oreganito, ocumo, cocoa, soursop, onoto, guava, guava, pineapple, parchita and avocado. We are currently in the middle of harvesting avocado, guava, oreganito, cacao and onoto.
I think that having some fruits at home is a blessing because we save a little and we can have available a number of organic products to maintain a healthy diet, in my case I am very happy when I harvest and more when I have in my hands the avocado and cocoa that are my favorites and it is good to note that these were planted years ago and we are still receiving the fruits of the effort made years ago.
It is important to point out that planting is an art and it is satisfying to harvest the fruit of our work, although not everything is rosy in the work of planting and caring for the plants because it involves a lot of effort and often fails, which sometimes brings demotivation, I must admit that about two months ago I had a defeat with a planting that I always consider impossible for me which is the item of chili, I think I have accumulated many defeats with this item so much so that I no longer like to try, the last time I planted 1000 chili plants and that tenacious that no seedling was given, I think that the new year I will plant two thousand seedlings of chili to see if the fruit is given. I have my motto and it is to forget the past and start as if you had never tried before, we will see what happens because it is better to try than to stay with the desire.
Well friends this is my little preview that I give you about my garden, I hope that the planting and harvesting that I will do soon will be successful, let's cross our fingers and I for my part will get down to work this week to show the harvest soon, see you in another exciting weekend if something out of the ordinary does not happen. See you then.
